Tatum and Brown is better and younger than some other duo’s in the league. Namely:
Kawhi and PG13
Derozan and Lavine

I assume its bc kawhi and pg13 get hurt, bc healthy I don’t if I agree with that all that much, or I can say kawhin is better than tatum and brown, but tatum and brown are better than pg13, I guess they are kinda equal

If Tatum and Brown are both on fire to close out games consistently through the playoffs, Boston is going to be a tough out

When will the celtics learn that JB is the number one option. Not tatum.

Not true at all Tatum is the better facilitator which is why he’s the one with the ball in his hands more often no diss to brown that’s literally the one thing he needs to work on
